Washington Cathedral Pipe Organ: Fanfare for the Common Man

Aaron Copland’s piece has almost gotten to be a cliche, but with the blazing reeds in this 8-second reverberation, it’s still pretty damn impressive. The trompette-en-chamade at the front of the choir kicks in @ about 1:40, I think. Douglas Major, organist/choirmaster from 1988 to 2002, performs along with some anonymous percussionists.
